Bin Hammam is up against Sepp Blatter next week as the duo prepare for the square off, and Haimes said that FIFA had no choice but to investigate the matter.
“This is a very, very tough case to bring and my sympathy goes out to Chuck Blazer because he had to fulfil his obligation,” said Haimes.
“When someone brings instances of what has been alleged to his attention, it is his obligation under FIFA statutes to report it.”
